Established in 1995, Barbara's Friends provides equipment, staffing and services to support lifesaving cancer care for children from across southwest Florida at Golisano Children's Hospital. The Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Program is the only program of its kind in Southwest Florida, and has served over 3,500 patients since opening. No child is denied treatment or turned away as a result of their family's inability to pay for care. For more information about the Barbara's Friends fund and supporting child patients in your community, please call Lee Health Foundation at (239) 343-6950 or visit BarbarasFriends.org.
